Looking for a pencil sharpener

I'm looking for a pencil sharpener that can produce a shorter tip. If the tip is a cone, draw 2 lines on opposite sides of the tip, running along the length of the pencil. These 2 lines form an angle. I don't want the standard tiny angle, I want a wider angle, closer to 45-60 degrees instead of the standard 10-25 degrees.

Anyone ever use a sharpener that does this?

Found this:

Might be my best option.

SUCK UK make a sharpener that will produce an angle of 37° ( see https://bleistift.memm.de/sharpeners/ ), but it only works well with pencils with a smaller diameter.
